Let Is Remember Home.

Let us make flannel shirts for the lIotten-
tots, interest ourselves in mighty charities,
or become, in a word, models of public spirit.
But let Us not quite forget our homes. In our
homes are lips that often and often will yearn
for cups OF cold water, and sad, weary hearts
will gladden. and grow fresh again when the
cup is given, unasked, by Il thoughtful, low
ing hand. Tho small offerings cost so little
There is nothing il the world that costs so
little and is yet so priceless. The fire burn
ing brightly upon tho hearth, the favorite
dish upon tho table, the cold water to the
humble laLorcr when evening calls him home,
and the baby lifted from the mothers tired
arms, strong hand at the heavy kettle, an
appreciatiye word for the capital bread and
tho nice tcG-this is the cup, retained full
and overlooking, that half banishcs the cares
Of the day, and brings new light into loving
eyes. The old fashioned song played and
sung for the silver haired father, the ready
fingers that thread the needle for grandma's
fading eyes, tic word of tender cheer for the
gricvcd ci.ild-tbose arc such little cups, and
yet they are so blessed!-St Louis Magazine,

Girls in the Kitchen.

"Peoplc make such fuss about girls not
going into service that I've kept list of rea-
sons against it; reasons that the girls gave
without really knowing that they were Civ
ing them, and it's pretty dreadful list, too.
But thcre It's both sides, and I'd like n
training school FOR both and a different way
of looking at things all round. There
won't be much change till there is"
This remark was repeated to a woman of
high social position, whose interest in the
problem was intense, and who had made n
genuine home for the servants in her own
house.
"The thing that strikes mo most seriously
is" she said, 'that the girls opportunity for
a really good marriage ccas1 IT," moment she
enters Il kitchen. Say what you WILL that is
the natural destiny of woman, aud my girls
are nice girls, who ought to lave Il fair
chance to find the right mate Two of them
are well educated. They could marry a
young professional man or mcrtlput and not
disgrace him, bat such men would never
dream of looking at them. The ordinary
mechanic comes to see them; Il kind of man
far below tbcn in every way. don't know
what to do about it, but it seems to me that
if for any reason they had to leave mo |
would not advise them to continue i'll dones-
tic service. Am right or wrongp
From other mistresses who lad thought
seriously and impersonally of the girls side
of the question has come much the same testi-
mony.-llelen Campbell.

In Old Kentucky Days.

In general the laws We're perhaps the mild
est. Some it is vital to the subject in hand
not to pass over. If slaves were inhumanly
treated by their owner or not supplied with
proper food and clothing, they could be
taken from him and sold to better master
This law was not imperative. | have i'll
mind the instance of family who lost their
negroes in this way, We're socially disgraced,
and left their ncighhorhood. If the owner
of o slave had bought him on condition of
not selling him out of the county, or into the
southern states, or 50 as to separate him from
his family, he could be sued tor violation of
contract This law shows the opposition of
the better class of Kentucky masters to the
slave trade, and their peculiar regard for the
family ties of their negroes.
In the earliest Kentucky newspapers will
be found advertisements of the sales of
negroes on condition that they would be
bought and kept within the county or the
state. 1t was within chancerv jurisdiction
to prevent the separation of families. The
case may be mentioned of master who was
tried by his church for unnecessarily sepa-
rating husband from his wife. Sometimes
slaves who had been liberated and had gone
to Canada voluntarily returned into service
under their former masters. Lest these
should be oycrreached they We're to be taken
aside ard examined by the court to see that
they understood the consequences of their
own action and were free from improper con-
traint On the other hand, if a slave had a
right to his freedom he could file a bill in
chancery and enforce his masters assent
thereto.-James Lane Allen in The Century.

A woman whose hair reaches to her waist
thick as ones wrist when braided, needs no
artificial ornaments TO adorn her head and
abundant hair needs less care to arrange than
scanty crop. All women can posses; such
hair If they give the proper care. 1t is not
best to keep the hair closely cut; after seven
years it need not be touched by the scissors
except to clip the forl.cd ends once every
month. Constant brushing is the secret of
luxuriant shining trcsses, as it strengthens
the hair and brings out its natural Mstcf, and,
by brushing, the ugliest rcd hair can be
changed to a warm golden tint. Use n hard
BRUSH Go not pass it lightly over the hair, but
with firm, steady strokes brush until the
scalp glOWs. If just before retiring you
loosen your hair and brush it this way you
will find you can sleep much better Braid
it in two loose plaits, or, il very short, leave
it unbound, as the hair should always be well
aired and need not bc bound unnecessarily.
Donot Use pomadcs, dyes or preparations of
any kind, and above ell things don't wear
